Title: Strange naming of part?
Post by: Oddvar on September 19, 2018, 08:48:03 am

HI.  I am a bit in the dark about this part in a Dumble build, is it misspelling of Tanatalum?  Or anything I haven't heard of?

Do you mean TANTALUM?   :icon_biggrin:

Look at the schematic. His spelling was a bit better.

I would assume so.

The word on the picture *can* be a rude reference to a private area of the body, so don't use it around nice people. That may have been "why" he mis-spelled Tantalum-- a rude joke.
